The Hurt Locker
Looks like a good movie coming out depicting EOD folks in Iraq.
I got a kick out of the actors describing how hard it was in 20 pounds of gear in 115 degree heat every day. And how almost everyone had a nervous breakdown during the filming.
And it wasn't even real.
Hollywood doesn't attract people like Jimmy Stewart anymore, I guess.

Yeah, at least there was a catering truck, a massuese, and a misting tent at the end of a hard day on patrol, just like the real thing.
There was a time when actors portraying Soldiers had actually been Soldiers.
"Nervous breakdowns" geez, these guys better call their personal trainers, workouts are good for stress relief.
I hope this movie turns out to be better than most of Hollywood's crap regarding this conflict.
